Adventures in Citizenship Participant Jake Northey

Highland Secondary School student Jake Northey was sponsored by the Dundas Valley Sunrise Rotary Club to attend Adventures in Citizenship in Ottawa. The Rotary Club of Ottawa runs the program and this year 220 youth from across all provinces and territories of Canada gathered in Ottawa for four days of tours of the parliament buildings, mock elections, and inspirational speakers. Jake was billeted with a host family, got to sit in the Prime Minister's chair, listened to ambassadors from The Netherlands and South Korea, attended a new Canadian citizenship ceremony where he got to reaffirm his Canadian citizenship, and toured the University of Ottawa.
